My guess is that the shorter one's for 45s, the longer one for LPs. Since 45s were mono until the late '60's, it concurs with what you wrote. Available on this:

Happy birthday, GA!

What's interesting is that, on those albums with (now) no cover art, iTunes is not allowing me to add cover art - covers remain blank. But if I add new albums to iTunes, I can easily add cover art.

The listing Steve mentioned: https://www.amazon.de/ART-KANE-HARLEM-1958-Trade/dp/8894366626/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1541361515&sr=8-10&keywords=art+kane

There's a review of Maxine's book in this weekend's Wall Street Journal.

Weird, if the book is to be published on November 12, that it’s not yet listed on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

There's an article in today's Wall St Journal, written by Marc Myers, about a new book. I can't reprint the entire article, but here's the important points: To commemorate the photo’s 60th anniversary, Wall of Sound Editions will publish “Art Kane: Harlem 1958” on Nov. 12. The 168-page book includes essays by Jonathan Kane, the late photographer’s son and archive executor; saxophonist Benny Golson, one of the photo’s two surviving jazz musicians; and an oral history by Art Kane from the 1994 documentary. The book features for the first time Kane’s 70-plus outtakes from the shoot, along with six contact sheets. The never-before-seen images of jazz musicians milling about reveal that Kane used two locations on East 126th Street—one on the stoop of No. 52 and the other at No. 17, a block and a half apart. Ultimately, the image from No. 17, with a more interesting architectural backdrop, was chosen for Esquire’s centerfold. Why Kane moved from one stoop to the other and how he kept all the musicians together remains a mystery. Included in the book are images taken that day by jazz bassist Milt Hinton, who had brought along his camera. His photographs provide lively images of Kane and Esquire graphics editor Robert Benton trying to manage the chaos from across the street.

There was a batch of Tal Farlow boxes released by Mosaic in Europe that incorrectly stated on the spine Tal Farlow Concert Band. I have one of them.

I love the dates with Ray Barretto, and the ones with BJP (or Baby Face) and Grant Green.

Absolutely!

Meanwhile, there were only 13 Download Series releases, but 4 of them were pre-1971: DLS2 (1/18/70), DLS6 (3/17/68), DLS Family Dog (2/4/70), and DLS12 (4/17/69). On a separate note, does anyone know how one can acquire the two Road Trips Full Show downloads? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_Trips_Full_Show:_Spectrum_11/5/79 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_Trips_Full_Show:_Spectrum_11/6/79

Only 3 of the 28 Dave's Picks volumes are pre-1971: DP6 (12/20/69, 2/2/70), DP10 (12/12/69), and DP19 (1/23/70, 1/24/70). Note, too, that the most recent of these was released more than two years ago.

They're probably saving a 1968 live show for the 50th anniversary issue of Aoxomoxoa. Ditto a 1969 show for Live Dead.

My hunch is that the # of pre-1972 concerts in their vault is pretty minimal. If they did have some, they'd be saved for wider release than a Dave's Picks.

Thanks for the heads-up, Kate. I've been feeling the same sort of fatigue. I think I will skip this subscription; if I get the itch, I can always download some Download Series or Europe 72 dates I don't already have.

I totally understand. I went through something similar about 3 years ago, when I decided to relisten to all my music. It took about 3 years to get through it all, but it was a wonderful experience, like seeing old friends again. And along the way, I listened to albums I filed away without first listening to them. My next bucket list item is to read all of those liner notes and Mosaic booklets I never got to. Yup, yup, yup. I came to the conclusion that people will never understand, so I don't even go into it. I find that people with more socially-acceptable obsessions don't get challenged in the same way. For example, sports nerds: Is it really that important to know and argue every stat, and go to wildly expensive games, and have the jerseys and memorabilia, and go to fan fests, etc.? Or wine? Don't even get me started on wine. But people get to show off their wine collections, no problem. So screw it; I like what I like - deal with it.

I was fortunate to see Buckley a few weeks before he died...I guess it was June 1975, at Max's Kansas City. He was great, and I was really rooting for his comeback. Then a month later...

When Ben Sidran interviewed Miles for “Talking Jazz,” he point blank asked him about how he came up with the name Nardis. Miles hemmed and hawed, and Sidran blurted out “That’s my last name spelled backwards!” Miles replied “That’s a good name.”

If Mosaic can't/won't do it, maybe Concord's new Craft imprint could. Similar to the Dial and Savoy sets: say 1949 - 1952. The 78 era.

...I'd love to have a Prestige set. In recording date order. It would really capture the feel of the times. Just sayin'.

Turning Point is on the Golson/Farmer/Jazztet Mosaic. Benny Golson with Miles's rhythm section (Kelly/Chambers/Cobb)? C'mon.
